Wow, thanks so much, Duke!  And my guitar thanks you as well. ;-) I was doing my best to work the dynamics to be sensitive to the vocal and it was really great to have this track...

Watch the cap's (capacitors, the blue ones) if you go with a DRRI, they can leak and break down very quickly. I would hope the newer models have fixed this.

I can confirm the Quilter is a great amp. I use an Aviator 1x12 on stage and on my lessons here. I still have my Deluxe Reverb and it has killer tone now that i have modified it...

Thanks Duke, and yes, if i had played along with your track there wouldn't likely be a timing issue. And i see you are favoring that Casino, sounds great as well. Steve

Martin, The new Quilter amps are suposed to be fabulous and small and light friends tell me. Duke

Hi Larry, I will put a Jimmy Reed tune on the docket! Duke

Great Job Bruce! Really nice and good solo and tone. The way you came out of the solo into the vocal was a perfect setup for Sunny. That's an important part of having the vocal...

Very good Marty! Nice take on it and nice light touch. Duke

Hi Marty, Sounding great. Keep up the good work! Duke

Hey Steve, Sounds great and so does the tele! My only comment is watchout for the timing on the desending lick at the end of the verse. There is very specific timing and hits there...

Thank you everyone for your comments, We will be working on some cool riff coming up for this tune. Bill Jennings and Billy Butler (with Bill Doggett) are two of the most melodic...

Sweet!

Wow, thanks very much, Peter! Thanks also for noticing my guitar. ;-) It's a 1942 Epiphone Century. The tuners, bridge and pickguard are non-original, but it's a great guitar with...

Marty set the bar, so here's my take.  Steve

What do you think, Duke? Better? I think so! 

John, that's great! The last thing I'd say as you work on it more is be sure that you can do it without the video, but with the metronome. The metronome in this instance is less...

 Thanks for the fast feedback Chirs! Spent some time wtih the metronome (And for others working on this it was really helpful to loop and actually play along with the video...

Hey John, First of all, great job. You've totally got the idea and all of the notes. The missing piece is the timing of the phrases.You're very close so I think you can figure it...

Awesome. Looking forward to hearing it!

Thanks, Dave. It's all about the feeling and the emotional commitment to what you're playing.

Hey Chris, really enjoying the lessons, thanks for doing this! this is a work in progress I definitely slip the timing a little on the back half but not sure where. Still working...

Thank you everyone for your comments, We will be working on some cool riff coming up for this tune. Bill Jennings and Billy Butler (with Bill Doggett) are two of the most melodic...

So cool! And dig the hat! Thanks for doing this despite recovery - really appreciate opening the door on this cool Bill Jennings stuff

Generous of you to share your signature piece. Most keep that one to themselves.  The notes are mostly pretty simple and it's all in the feeling you bring to them. Much appreciate...

Thanks Duke .  Fun tune.   Great hat !!!

Another really great lesson, Chris! Thanks! Looking forward to working on it.

This is such a great tune! It's so much fun to watch the video of your performance of it after watching the lesson. I know what I'll be doing tomorrow! Thanks, Duke. Best wishes...

There are as many different versions of a given tune as there are people playing the tune. That's right and proper because fiddle tunes are part of an oral tradition. These tunes...

Duke, I had a musical epiphony today. Listening to my performance of this, I realize that I had not committed myself to the time and the groove. I worry so much about hitting the...
